Hard Truths - an Animus film podcast

• 'Sinners'

  This third episode of Hard Truths, about Ryan Coogler's Sinners, is a lot less about twins than we expected — but that's only because the film is so rich. Elena and Manuela talk about Coogler's far-reaching vision for the possibilities of IMAX and cinema in general, his handling of tone and genre, and much more. Hard Truths is an Animus film podcast. Every other week, Animus founder and editor Elena Lazic catches up from London, UK, with her twin Manuela, who can usually be found across the pond in Paris. Expect animated conversations about cinema, digressions into unrelated topics, and trivial facts from our personal lives. Do NOT expect to immediately be able to tell us apart. Hard Truths is made possible by True Cinephile paying members who, for £3.50/month or £35/year, access all instalments of the advice column for cinephiles Psycho. two days early, and more.

• Three Westerns

  In this second episode of Hard Truths, Elena and Manuela discuss three fantastic, very different films, all of them westerns: FORTY GUNS (Sam Fuller, 1957), THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (John Ford, 1962), and RIDE LONESOME (Budd Boetticher, 1959). They recently screened in Paris as part of the Cinémathèque Française season “Le Western, en 25 films indispensables”, which ran from 9 to 27 April. Whether you love westerns or have never seen any, we hope this episode makes you excited to watch a few and gives you some idea of the genre’s variety.The programme for the Cinémathèque Française season “Le Western, en 25 films indispensables”: https://www.cinematheque.fr/cycle/le-western-en-25-films-indispensables-1364.html Terrence Rafferty’s essay on RIDE LONESOME and the Ranown cycle, for Criterion: https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/7487-the-shock-of-the-old-seven-men-from-now-and-the-ranown-cycleHard Truths is an Animus film podcast.

• ‘Holy Cow’ and ‘Misericordia’

  In the first episode of Hard Truths, we come up with the name of the podcast on the spot, and go on to discuss two differently delightful French films, both of which stand out from the usual French output for being set in the countryside: Alain Guiraudie’s MISERICORDIA, and Louise Courvoisier’s HOLY COW. Both films premiered at the 2024 edition of the Cannes Film Festival: MISERICORDIA in Cannes Premiere, HOLY COW in Un Certain Regard. MISERICORDIA is released in the UK via New Wave Films, in the US via Sideshow and Janus Films.HOLY COW is now in UK and Irish cinemas via Conic Films, and in the US via Zeitgeist Films.
